Abstract
⺠We assess variability in egg and larva quality and their connections with survival. ⺠Egg fatty acid composition varied more than egg size or proximate composition. ⺠Concentrations of Arachidonic Acid and DHA affected larval escape performance. ⺠Non-genetic maternal contribution to egg quality can determine offspring fitness.
